In some parts of Sussex, England, there
is Il superstition that il you put OIL your
right stocking, right shoe and right trou-

toothachc. To drink out OF n skull taken
from t. graveyard, to take a tooth from

to apply the tooth TO your own living but
aching tooth, to put n double II into
your pocket, To pare your finger nails and
toe nails and wrap the parings in a paper
all are charms against the toothache.
In otter parts of England there is n Gus

TEACHING JACK A Trick.


irish Victory ut Last.
l heard n dog story the other day that
should serve as n text in n rcformatory
school, or, to bring it nearer home, to
some people as an argument in favor of
educational discipline. The hero Of this
tale is an Irish setter, amiablc enough, but
stubborn and trained only to be good. He
never showed any special talent, save to
keep house, and live up to his canine in
stincts Of barking ut seedy looking strnn-
gers n evincing n proper affection for
tho family whom he honored with his
maintenance. Not very long since II
young relative of his family undertook
to teach Jack u trick. He was told the
dog was too stubborn to learn anything,
it was useless wasting time over him; but
the more objection thrown in his way the
more the young man persisted, for he said
it was time Jack knew something, and he
had just taught his own dog several anus
ing tricks which Tack must and should
acquire forthwith. Whereupon he called
Jack into the dining room, shut the o
and began his task Of making the creature
sit up and give his paw.
In itself nothing could be more simple.
1t is the very kindergarten of canine cul-
ture, but Jack didn't see 1t in that light.
He would not sit up nor would he give
his paw. Over and over again, with the
greatest patience, was the instruction
given, while Jack, in the most diotic
way, refused to hear what was told him.
After two hours labor the poor dogs
kind mistress begged that he might be ex-
cused. Mop was the stern answer,
GIVE begun and must &c on now or the
dog will be ruined" Finally, owing to
the lateness of the hour, the disciplinarian
led Jack into the cellar, where the house
hold would not be disturbed, and then re-
newed the contest with a little more
severity. AS the clock struck II the
brute seemed to get it through his pate
that unless he obeyed like a gentleman he
would ave to stay there all night. SO
he sat up nj Topped n tawny paw Just
oncel This was enough, the fight was
over and the victor rushed away to take
the last car home.
Jack never told any one OF that nights
experience; perhaps no one thought to
ask him about it, or If he would kindly
exercise his dearly acquired accomplish
ments. AT all events, weeks passed way
ere his new master and conqueror came
again to the house. One night Jack heard
the voice at the front door, and with the
impetuosity peculiar to his race he threw
himself headlong against the visitor, and
then, suddenly withdrawing, sat down on
his launches and held up n paw. The
victory had been complete, and Jack had
remembered his lesson.-Boston Herald.

How Were ~Uneducated Men Educated1

How We're Uneducated Mon Educated?
The articles appearing il several lead
ing monthlies on ''How | was Educated, "
are all written by educated men. How
were the uneducated men educated?
Among them were such men as Henry
Wilson, Andrew johnson, Abraham Lin

others eminent in public life, whose
names are almost household words. How

many houses a wooden dye tub, holding

We much mistake the object and scope

stand as outposts against ignorance.

CALL A HALT.

The Louisville Courier Journal, the New
York Sun and Cincinnati Commercial all
advertise Wichita by republishing the
EAGLES "Call Halt" AS each of these
papers are copying the EAGLE in efforts TO
get up booms, we suggest that they will
not in ell probability ever lie called upon
to call halt. Their halt will come with
out calling. Wichita is going to be the
typical city of this age of boom, built in
response to the demands of the spirit and
opportunities of such an age of wonderful
and rapid progress. and in the center OF
the only unoccopied field, a field as grand
as it is new, city which as city
will rise superior to and in spite
of all the foolish acts of individual specu-
lators; but, for all that, we are thankful
for the gratuitous advertising given us by
the leading papers of the country, even
though such advertising is in the way OF
abuse.
The days Of mere expectancy have
passed. 1t is no longer perhaps, but
q reality. The outcome is certain as un-
erring law. When the preliminary stages
have been passed, and the opportune con-
currerce of events arrives, cities expand as
il by magic, and in the amazing rapidly
of their growth all the long years OF pre-
paration are forgotten. We have finished
our probation, ard are marching surely
and swiftly to the position Of one of the
great cities of America.
